Summer 2013 LEGO Legends of Chima

We have discussed the 2013 LEGO sets coming this summer and fall (see: Summer & Fall 2013 LEGO Sets), and it was obvious that LEGO’s focus this year is to push the LEGO Legends of Chima theme as much as possible, so there will be tons of Chima sets coming this year. (For already released LEGO Legends of Chima sets check the Online LEGO Shop.)

At the London Toy Fair pictures were not allowed, so we could only get set names and some details, however at the recent German Toy Fair taking pictures and videos was welcome. Meiko, the project manager of the Chima Wiki took some pictures and shared them with us. But first let’s take a look at the upcoming LEGO Legends of Chima sets (for details and prices check out: Summer & Fall 2013 LEGO Sets).

As you can see there are plenty of Legends of Chima sets coming throughout the rest of the year. Below is a picture of the LEGO Legends of Chima display at the German Toy Fair. (Click image for larger view.)

The main attraction is of course the Gorilla mech from the #70008 LEGO Legends of Chima Gorzan’s Gorilla Striker. And yes, you see that right; the mech is loaded with bananas as ammunition. 🙄

Another main feature of the summer Chima sets is the gorillas and other new characters, so let’s take a look at those guys. The LEGO Legends of Chima gorillas are Gardo, Gorzan, Grizzam, and G’Loona with short legs. (Click image for larger view.)

The other new LEGO Legends of Chima characters are Furty the fox (my favorite Chima minifigure so far!), Skinnet the skunk, and a new female wolf named Windra. Furty and Skinnet come with tails! 😀

So that’s what we have for now… what do you think? How do you like the upcoming LEGO Legends of Chima sets? And what about the minifigures and the ultrabuilds? Which one is your favorite character so far? Share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉

I agree, Furty is probably my favorite character so far as well! The gorrilas do look a bit odd… Gorzan especially is better in the show. I don’t think I’ll be getting too much Chima, but some of the new stuff is neat!

Personally I am slightly let down with the gorillas. It’s not they are bad on their own, but I was hoping to use them for possible Planet of the Apes stuff, or even just with more variety in “normal” gorillas. The tribal painting on most of their faces, while does make it more detailed, means that they will not work great for what I was hoping to use it for.

Chima looks like it is quaranteed to meet its target audience’s expectations with these new figures. However they aren’t the kind of thing I’ll be getting. I’m hoping for pictures of those geonosis star wars sets. Hopefully they’ll live up to MY expectations.

Now for my ideas for a story.
Ninjago: After defeating the Overlord, they get prepared for the next fight with a new villain. The ninja, Dareth, Misako, Garmadon and Wu are training, while Dr. Julien and Nya are working on some more mechs. The Samurai Mech is now rebuilt, as is the Golden Mech. Dr. Julien can now fight with his mech. It’s like the Fire Mech, but bigger and with giant rocket fists. But the last thing is fro The Falcon. They finished building a fighting body for it. The Falcon can fight. He now trains with Dareth and Sensei Wu. Then a sudden portal appears.

Meanwhile, in Chima: Plomar and his Plomar mobile (seen in the 4D Experience Chima trailer) flies around, with his friends, Furty, Skinnet, G’loona and this new female wolf cub. They crash into some beavers. They apologize and move on. They see Laval, Eris, Gorzan, Rhogon, Bladvix and Ploman fighting the opposing force. Suddenly, a portal appears.

Name: Ploman/Fal
Tribe: Falcons
Side: Good
Enemies: Crocs, Wolves, Razar (archenemy) and Ravens
Friends: Quest (oc), Lions, Eris and Egor (not the other eagles), Gorillas, Bears, Rhinos, Plomar, Skinnet, Furty, and his tribe.
Neutral: Eagles
Weapons: Smoke bombs, katana, Sword of Seals.
Vehicles: Plomobile, Falcon mech.
Bio: Razar, an old friend of Fal and Quest, the trio were the best of friends. But one day, Razar was asked the kill Fal’s parents, close friends and relatives for trinkets, treasure, money and the golden chi orb. He loved treasure more than his friends, so he accepted. He killed Fal’ parents, close friends and relatives, he became Ploman, after he had met Plomar.

I wish there were pictures of the Crocodile Swamp Lair. It comes with at least one exclusive figure (Queen Krunket, or possibly Queen Krunket and General Krasha, he’s the dark green crocodile seen a couple times in the background)!!!

I think there may have been some mix-up in the names. Please note that this article was written (and most of the discussion have taken place) back in 2013 before the new sets were out. The five finalized minifigs in the Crocodile Swamp sets discussed here are Cragger, Crominus, Crug, Lennox and Leonidas.

Yeah, I think the Crocodile Swamp Set will be exclusive to ToysRUs, just like the Lightning Dragon in NinjaGo was. I also wonder if there will be an exclusive Speedorz set this fall for Rogan and Bladvig? It would make sense because they did fight each other in the tornament episode, and I know they will have figures of them made eventually.

Hey I don’t know if this is the right spot to put this but I emailed Lego asking them something about Lego Universe and they said that they are going to make a Massively Multiplayer online game of Chima! For those of you who don’t know what a MMO is it is an online game where people play in the same world together. It should be similar to LU! (Yes I am super excited!)
